I'm a new user - joined today. I've owned many land rovers over my time, having sold my 300TDI Soft Top this time last year.

However my favourite was my 1989 V8 (which I should never have sold);
Having recently been on the last factory tour for the Defender line - I've got the bug again.

So I'm looking to find and own one of the best Defenders made - the 50th.

If anyone here knows or see something up for sale I'd appreciate the heads up. I'm based in Manchester - but willing to travel for the right one. It must be as original and not been messed with. Any condition considered - I'm open to a project needing a rebuild - or something that is already restored. I've considered Japanese Imports; but will give these a miss for the time being.

SO FAR at the time of writing there are a couple out there.

094 which I've read previous posts has been on/off sale over the last few years. This is the 45K LR that is advertised on ebay or direct visit the website based in Guildford. http://www.shere4x4.co.uk/ for £23,994 but no more info or photos.

GB 165 is currently being restored by Simon and will be available once it has been completed.. it will be stunning once done!_________________im allways in the muck... its just the depth that differs..

If you could get it around the guide of 15-17,000 and you budget for a nice set of Freestyle wheels in the correct colour code (£250 on eBay) to complete the look; you could save yourself £5K over the others ones you are looking at.
